Egg curry is yet another thing that I didn’t know existed until we came to India. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen it on a menu in South Asia but our ayah used to cook it for us and we couldn’t get enough of it.

I love collecting Indian recipes and this boiled egg curry is now in my repertoire. It’s a pretty simple and standard egg masala recipe and, assuming you have access to authentic Indian spices, I’m sure even a beginner cook can whip this up.

Boiled Egg Curry Recipe

Ingredients:

boiled eggs

potatoes

onions

garlic

tomatoes

indian spices (turmeric, coriander, masalas)

First, boil some eggs. Pretty easy.

Chop up some onion and garlic, as usual. I don’t think any dish our ayah ever cooked didn’t start with garlic and onions in oil.

Peel your boiled eggs and give them a little roll in some turmeric powder.

Now fry them briefly in oil. Just enough to give them a little texture.

Now throw your onions and garlic in your oil and give ’em a nice cooking.

I knew that I liked Indian food but we’ve become complete converts since arriving in Asia. I pretty much only cook Indian now. If you have the right spices most Indian recipes are really quite easy. I know we’re going to miss this stuff fiercely when we get back to the states. I’m going to have to find an Asian market so that I can find all the ingredients to make my favorite dishes.
